Booksellers, tell us what’s in your stack and what you’re most excited to handsell, and email us with those funny anecdotes about happenings and things overheard in your store. Did someone ask for a copy of Lionel Richie and the Wardrobe? We want to hear about that and turn it into a Storefront feature. Send us book recommendations for Face Out, and tell us what’s selling—especially those titles that might be off our radar.

Northwest authors, drop a line to introduce yourself, and make sure that we receive a copy of your book as soon as it’s available. Consider becoming a PNBA member, which you can do here. Member authors will be listed on our author directory. We’ll also provide a link to your web site if you provide a link to your favorite local independent store or to IndieBound. That link must be at least as prominent as any links to other online booksellers.

Publishers, publicists, and regional sales reps, send us your comments about NW books and authors, or titles that you think will have special relevance to Northwest readers. Send us copies of the books and point us in the direction of blurbs, reviews, articles, essays and blog posts. And we sincerely hope that you will encourage indie booksellers to send us their comments about your books.

PNBA Book Award-winning authors and authors who’ve paid for a PNBA membership will be given a listing in our author directory.
